XRPL EVM Sidechain Launches on Mainnet

  • XRPL debut of Ethereum‑compatible smart contracts

  • Mainnet launch promises faster, cheaper transactions

  • Enhanced interoperability in XRP Ledger ecosystem

With the launch of the XRPL EVM Sidechain, developers can now deploy Ethereum‑compatible smart contracts directly within the XRP Ledger ecosystem. This means tools like Solidity, MetaMask, and Hardhat work seamlessly—bridging two major blockchain platforms and expanding XRPL’s developer appeal.

Faster Transactions, Lower Fees

The new sidechain is built to deliver high-speed, low-cost transactions. Compared to traditional Ethereum, users can expect significantly reduced gas fees and faster confirmation times—ideal for DeFi apps, NFTs, and everyday transfers. This aligns with Ripple’s ongoing effort to make XRP Ledger more efficient and cost-effective for all users.

By tying into Ethereum’s tooling and contract standards (EVM), XRPL now supports cross‑chain asset flows, broader DeFi strategies, and increased liquidity. This interoperable setup attracts both Ethereum and XRP communities, fostering collaboration and innovation across ecosystems.
